Fiestalonia - festivals and competitions

From 14 to 18 June 2026, the BlackSeaFest International Festival and Competition invites you to Batumi, a city that inspires at first sight and leaves a lasting impression. Batumi is a city where history meets modernity: ancient streets neighbour skyscrapers, palm trees sway next to majestic mountains, and the seafront promenade beckons with walks at sunset. A city with a rich history, mentioned as early as the 4th century BC, today delights visitors with cultural festivals, gastronomic discoveries and an unrivalled festive atmosphere. BlackSeaFest is not just a competition. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of creativity, meet like-minded people from all over the world, share your talent and get inspired. An international jury of professionals will evaluate not only your technique, but also your emotionality, charisma and originality, helping each participant to reveal themselves on stage and make a name for themselves. And after the performances, real adventures await you! A rich excursion programme will take you on walks through the historic centre of Batumi, along the seafront with its breathtaking views, on trips to the mountainous regions of Adjara, waterfalls, ancient fortresses, as well as introducing you to the national cuisine and true Georgian hospitality. BlackSeaFest is when a competition turns into an adventure, the stage becomes a place of power, and the journey inspires new victories and ideas. We look forward to seeing you!
